2008-01-07 Home Front: Politix

An emboldened John McCain declared ``I will win,'' and Republican rival Mitt Romney scrambled to prevent a second big race to slip away in the frenzied final hours before the New Hampshire primary.

Said Romney on Sunday: ``I'm planning on winning in New Hampshire.'' But he added, ``It may not happen,'' reflecting new polls.

Mike Huckabee, who took first place in the Iowa caucuses but trails in the nation's first primary, downplayed his own prospects but said: ``We're going to do better than expected.''

Wide open and intense, the race for the Republican nomination has gotten ever tighter. A pair of fresh polls showed McCain, the Arizona senator, slightly ahead of Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, two days before New Hampshire votes. New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, staking his hopes on later states, is trying to hold off Huckabee for third.

#1 Why is this feeling like the old debate about women and nice guys?

You know the one where the gals' defense mechanisms go off line cause the bad boy/predator knows what to say and do to get what he wants, but is edgy, exciting, dangerous. Meanwhile, the nice guy who doesn't play those mind games and is mister reliable and dependable gets the 'friend' zone treatment. And we know how that plays out with the victim whining after they're played and exploited when they choose Mr. Exciting[tm].
